Abstract:
To investigate the functions of the domains, cDNAs coding for the four domains of human megalin gene were cloned by PCR with cDNA from human kidney as templates and sequenced. The results showed that the lengths of the four fragments were 863bp,1008 bp, 1247 bp and 1359 bp, respectively. The sequence for the first domain shared about 99.9% similarity with that of GenBank (positions 457 and 605 are C and G, but not G and A ), while the identities of the rest three domains were completely same with that in GenBank.
